Regarding Search Content

Unread post by Vanitha R »

hi Team,

When I search online help for content, I need the help to show the search text that is found including location of content.

How can I enable this. Please help asap.

Regards
Vanitha

I have attached sample search screen.

Hi Vanitha,

There are limited options for configuring the search results. It shows the topic where you found it with a live link to the topic and the first couple of lines of text. That is all, additional information there is not possible and will normally also not be needed. When you select a topic to display it all the hits in that topic will be highlighted, as shown in your example.

hi Tim,

The search result does not few lines of surrounding text in my case. Only topic , terms matched and score count.
I would like the surrounding text to be shown as it makes it easier to spot relevant content.

Vanitha

I think you need the "full" version of zoom indexer, and have to host the documentation on a CGI-enabled web server. You can read more in their documentation — seach for "context" and specifically "context size".

The text is clearly visible in your screenshot in your post. It is not the text around a hit in the topic, but always the first words of the topic itself.
